Museveni to re-invade DRC?

Yebo Gogo blog comments on report that Ugandan strongman Yoweri Museveni wants to re-invade the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Rwandan newspaper The New Times claims that the Ugandan leader met with a high ranking American official seeking US backing for the invasion. Museveni's press secretary insisted that he was merely 'lobbying' the US as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. Given the Bush administration's position on pre-emption (aggression), it's reasonable to assume they would support Museveni's desires.
